I use GameChat waaay more than I thought I would. Sure the quality isn't that great, but the simplicity and ease of use make it really enticing imo. I'm in a long distance relationship and my gf watches me play games through it all the time. We also play single player games in sync and help each other through puzzles etc.
In terms of subscription, I think Nintendo's plans are the least egregious in gaming. Most people are already paying for at least the minimum tier because it's barely a dent on the wallet and has a lot of extras without even counting GameChat
Playing Resi 8. Thought I'd play 7 and 8 before 9, even though I know it ain't a continuation. I just fancied playing 7 cos I never did back on release. Absolutely loved it and it makes 8 make a lot more sense. Who knew
@Thomystic it had performance issues on home consoles so I'm not sure it would. maybe the way the game is made who knows, but you make it sound like it only skipped switch 1 because of mouse controls
@Sylamp I mean, it's something to do right? what difference does it make if you're playing a clean install vs your maxed out Switch 1 save. If anything I see the clean slate as more reason to get back into it
@squiddu-real yeah looks way sharper in handheld mode now. I mean it didnt look terrible before, but you could kinda tell it was 720p on a 1080p screen
Let's be real, Nintendo get hate all the time from online outlets and fans of other consoles for "paywalling" features behind amiibo, and this is the outcome. Nintendo daren't put anything substantial as an unlock as it will only be met with hate.
@MarcelMaigre they made it work is what im saying. nintendo will have always wanted the switch 2 logo there, so the designers got creative. yeah it’s not ultra obvious but my brain can make it work
I dont understand why people dont see what they've done with the Switch 2 logo, they made the 2 be the E of evil and the joycon symbols are the NT at the end of resident. Its all about how you look at it, open your mind and it’s actually clever design
Let’s be fair, Galaxy remasters aren’t a tentpole release, but I still expect it to be in the top 10 for a while. It will have more legs than Yotei I’d imagine
If Street Fighter 6 is possible then I don't see why Tekken 8 wouldn't be. Makes you wonder if "a lot of hard work" is relative to the times. Prob the standard amount of work for a port 20 years ago.

Honestly not too fussed about 3 lap races anymore. I understand purists might prefer it, but there's way more fun to be had with intermissions. Tried going back to MK8 at the weekend and the game feels so flat and dated lol. Glad World mixed up the formula and can't wait for them to expand on this open world.
I imagine just playing the Switch off-charge until it completely dies, charging fully, then repeating, will do the same thing. The Nintendo guide is just being ultra cautious.
I'd also like to add that if this was due to the tablet unit overheating, I'd imagine the system would've broken down due to melted BGA solders (YLoD, RRoD) way before the outer case would have warped.
For all we know this person has either sat or stood on the console by mistake. I've played docked for hours and the console doesn't get excessively hot - certainly not hot enough to warp metal. Given it's housed in a dock that KEEPS IT STRAIGHT, where are the pictures of the warped dock?
I don't know what to think. I mean if it's a genuine issue then why doesn't the person just contact Nintendo support, instead trying to create some sort of epidemic online? This filters through to sites like Nintendolife because of slow news days and suddenly it becomes a thing. This is a really negative aspect of the internet.
Of course there is bound to be negative things said about this game, but I think it has had quite a striking visual upgrade, up there with Final Fantasy X. I don't think changing the core game mechanics is high on any HD remake's agenda. Also, the more you integrate the GamePad, the less likely it is that you'd be able to play the game solely on the controller. It's a situation I feel a lot of Wii U developers are facing right now. It seems to me the number one thing people love about the GamePad is the ability to use it as a portable device.

Re: Balatro's Back To Steal All Your Spare Time In New Switch 2 Version
@kmtrain83 you don't upgrade, you get a separate game for free. it doesn't affect your original save as you still have the Switch 1 version installed
